  • Danny has too many segments.

    Love the show. Wildes is probably the funniest one. There does not need to be a FTF overtime. I get that Danny is Nicks best friend but come on man. He’s insufferable

  • Danny Chill

    I love this show but Danny is insufferable , Colin also has him on too much. First Justin Herbert, then the constant politics, then that written statement about Caleb Williams which was probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever heard on fox sports. The parkins train has gotta stop, get into politics or something bro I’m trying to listen to sports talk.

  • Unsubscribing

    The show is boringly predictable, not funny, and not informative - it’s become annoying. Eliminating all talk about the Chiefs, Patriots, Ravens, and Bears would be a good starting point for this show. Or better, find funnier hosts with unbiased sports opinions. Many other football podcasts are better sources of information and entertainment.
